Magicka DK Execute

Logic behind no execute? Seriously, why no execute? I mean you can't even add one via weapon skill line. Does a Mag Warden have one (never played one)?

Side note; what is the devs obssession with light and heavy attacks? Super boring. Seems like half the changes ZOS makes is to take away 'X' in exchange for some sort of light/heavy attack sequence or stacking effect. Not very fun playstyle.

    DK is designed to be constant pressure through DOT and damage mitigation. We had an execute for a little while with molten arm but they killed that.
    Tl;dr really weigh the fun you have in game vs the business practices you are supporting.

    Yes warden has an execute through the Bear ult. Although I admit that the AI for it is stupid, they have one none the less.

    The logic is not all classes have everything the other classes have, see Templar in class major sorcery/brutality, no class spammable for sorcerers, no in class major savagery/prophecy for nightblades, etc

    Magden's execute being on the execute is not very good. Especially one that has *** ai. While we have one, its not fair that we are forced to use a double slotted ultimate. It is not good in pvp either because the bear isnt. We have discussed what should get the execute. Many of us think growing swarm is a good place for it. I personally think a light attack execute on lotus blossom would be very interesting and cool. And it would make the skill useful. As it currently stands, it heals less than crit surge and has an effect that is already on inner light making it not worth slotting. I would maybe set numbers to: "does 50% more damage to targets below 25% health" for a really powerful burst execute at the end. Or a creeping execute like "does UP TO 50% more damage to targets below 50% health."

    I wish they would put an execute for mag and stam in the weapon skill lines.

    Healing in this game is very powerful. And the combat system, at least on Xbox, is not always as responsive as one would wish. Add the delay in skills firing off due to lag/ latency issues and too often someone can heal just enough to keep from being whipped to death. Especially vamps w/undead passive.

    Personally, even w/o an execute I think mDK is the most difficult to fight against so not all bad.

    It probably has the same ETA as the stam-whip.

    This.

    You can take it one step further, Templar has a ranged execute, but no major sorcery/brutality, no 1vX compatible defense and no AOE control mechanic.

    DK has no execute, but both major DMG buffs, wings to shut down ranged builds and immobilze + unblocked cc.

    You can ask for an execute, but the last time Templars asked for one in 2014, they removed blinding flashes; our only AOE defense mechanic.

    Don't think its needed to be honest. Making the existing kit work properly (looking at you whip, constantly and easily dodged unless you drop like 8k resources to maybe land it.)

    ^^

    As long as everything else is working and balanced it is not needed. I actually like that I don't have to waste a slot on an execute skill on my DK.

    at some point, i just watch them roll and wait for their stun immunity to wear off. fossilize after 5+ rolls = RIP
